Press the Gas Valve to the left (closed) position.
Wait until the engine is cool before lifting and moving.
Keep the Engine level while carrying with another person.
storing the engine
Replace the Engine oil with new oil before storing as described on page 13.
Remove the Spark Plug as described on page 12. Add a spoonful of new Engine oil
through the Spark Plug mounting hole, into the cylinder. Rotate the driveshaft to dis-
tribute the oil evenly. Replace the Spark Plug. Wipe up any spilled oil.
With a gas can and funnel (neither included) underneath the Deposit Cup, unscrew the
Drain Plug of the Deposit Cup and drain all the gasoline from the Gas Tank. The Gas
Valve must be open. When drained, replace the Drain Plug. See illustration above,
left.
Pull the Starter Pull Cord slowly, and when it engages keep pulling until the arrow on
the starting sleeve aligns with the hole of the starter. See illustration above, right. This
ensures that the inlet and outlet valves are closed, preventing a buildup of moisture
and rust within the engine.
Cover the Engine with a waterproof cover.
